Chapter 219 The Battle of the Gate

The downpours washed down the streets and stone slabs, dissipating the stagnant heat on weekdays. On the days when the cold wind was blowing diagonally, the imperial capital presented two polarized scenes.

On the main road, different troops are fighting each other, and the sound of fighting and shooting has never been cut off. In the courtyards of some residents, it was silent. Many people closed their doors tightly, holding their breaths for fear of causing undue disaster. Some remote slums were also extremely quiet at the moment, and many unemployed people from the lower classes watched nervously. , like a hyena, looking for the opportunities that may arise in this unrest.

A sudden change is also taking place in the military camp on the western outskirts of Titania.

It stands to reason that there are about 50,000 troops stationed in this army, which echoes with another military camp in the east, and jointly guards Titenya, and they are all under the control of His Majesty the Capture King, but what they don’t want is that in the Before the regent's summoning signal was received, the soldiers here had already begun to gather.

"Everyone, put on your armor immediately and gather at the designated place!" The urgent sound of horns and bells echoed in the camp, and there were sounds of running everywhere.

Soldiers quickly ran out of their residences, thinking that this was a special training set up by some bastard, but judging from the favorable treatment of the Guards, they didn't really resist.

The soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx in the pouring rain, with their heads held high. They are the elite army directly under the royal family, and they have a kind of pride and pride that is unmatched by ordinary people.

In this rainstorm, a burly man who was like steel slowly ascended the high platform. The surging momentum and strength made the soldiers present couldn't help but hold their breaths and watch silently. . This commander is not the usual familiar, his figure is a bit strange.

"Me! Darcy Gentry." A loud voice resounded in the array like thunder.

"It will be yours, the new leader and commander." The voice seemed to have unquestionable power, which made people dread.

Darcy, the son of a commoner, later married the Gentlin family, married Verin, the only direct daughter of the Gentlin family, and obtained the title of earl. His outstanding performance on the battlefield of the Western Expedition made him the idol of many civilian non-commissioned officers, and his reputation was well-known to every household under the propaganda of the royal family.

Many middle and low-level officers present were puzzled by such a sudden announcement, but as a prestigious noble officer stood behind Darcy, expressing approval and standing in line, everyone had to suppress their doubts and remain silent.

Different from what the officers thought, when the ordinary soldiers heard the 'war god' commander, which was widely circulated in the empire, they burst into a warm voice, and the boiling voice almost boiled down to the rain, with a pair of eyes in the rain. Also very bright.

The 'Pure Iron General' Darcy, the legion he led, had almost won every battle in the expedition in the past. If it wasn't for the last encounter with that special war machine, the situation after the Empire and Crancia would be hard to say.

Who doesn't want to win, and on the battlefield, victory is everything, and there's nothing more exciting than that.

Looking at the cheers and eager voices below, the former 'war god' still had an indifferent face, like steel, he slowly raised his hand, and the voice stopped instantly, and there was silence.

"Everyone!"

"Follow me and strike immediately."

"The enemy is the rebels on the east side of the imperial capital. They are the traitors of the empire and will be defeated by us!"

"The will of the empire!" The voice of Qi brushing sounded in this order.

Immediately, these soldiers acted urgently. Their elite cavalry set off first, followed by the infantry in raincoats, and finally the chariots advancing forward.

Among the elite cavalry as the vanguard, Darcy took the lead on horseback, and the air waves on his side broke the hemispherical cover in the rain, which was particularly conspicuous in the rain curtain. Under his leadership, the cavalry also played a far-reaching role. The will and fighting spirit surpassed in the past, its transpiring magic power brought bursts of white smoke, constantly drifting in the heavy rain.

The power to defend Titanya is generally divided into three parts. Among them, the least and most elite are the red-clothed guards in the palace. They are dressed in thick red-golden armor, with a relief of roses on their chests, and dark shadows behind them. The red cloak's strength is mostly between Sequence 4-5, and some captains have the strength of Sequence 6.

The other part is the patrolling knights in the city and the rotating garrison corps. They have a slightly complicated composition and perform their duties, but the total number is about 60,000.

The last part is the two military camps outside the city, each with 60,000 people in the east and west, totaling 120,000 legionnaires. They are all elite legions in the army, and they usually rotate with the legions stationed in the border and southern borders to keep their combat effectiveness from slipping.

Of course, this is only the military power of Titenia. In fact, there are many fiefs loyal to the royal family near Titenia, or the strongholds of royal branches. These cities are like satellites embedded in the road leading to Titenia. Roads and checkpoints, if the garrison is mobilized, it can easily gather about 400,000-600,000 troops.

In this turmoil, the private army of the nobles in the city mainly occurred. Although their number was smaller than those of the patrol knights and garrison troops, their equipment was much better, and these patrol knights and garrison troops were not monolithic, many of them had been infiltrated, Under the leadership of the commander, he turned against the water.

As the battle progressed, the scattered patrol knights and garrisoned corps in the city were routed, and the main roads of Titania were gradually controlled by the private armies of the major nobles, leaving only the imperial guards in the palace to protect the regent and queen. step back.

Outside the city, two powerful new forces also began to confront each other.

The Eastern Legion, which was attacking the city, was attacked from the rear, and people panicked for a while.

The general of the soldiers is one of the famous "Three Victorious Generals" in the Empire, General Sifrey.

This general, who also came from the bottom, once received the favor of the current queen in Emenas, and is also a rare queen party in the empire. Although he occupies an important position in the imperial capital, the regent acquiesced to this change after a long deliberation.

Red Queen Lily has very few confidants and powers. If even Sifrey is to be removed, it will greatly stimulate the contradictions within the royal family. This is not what Edron wants to see.

After receiving the emergency signal from the palace, the general immediately led someone to count the soldiers and prepared to enter the city for rescue, but was stopped by the defenders at the city gate, which delayed a certain amount of time until the side of the army. attacked by the Western Army.

"It's you? Darcy."

On the rainy field, Sifrey rode on a horse, wearing a gray and white cloak, holding a long spear, looking at the general who led the cavalry to break through the front line.

In the face of Sifrey's questioning, the ruthless general did not say a word, but responded with a more violent attack. Wherever his spear came, it brought a splash of rain and blood, and the thick shield hit it. Broken, solid fronts crumbled in layers.

"Shoot!" Facing the approaching enemy general, Sifrey waved his hand, and a dense sound of bows and crossbows sounded immediately. The enchanted Rohijin crossbow bolts swarmed out, shooting down the cavalry in front of them in rows and rolling down. into the muddy rain.

These enchanted transcendent mechanical crossbows are more effective and more powerful in the rain than muskets.

Soon the charging cavalry fell for it, and only Darcy was left in the forward sprinting figure.

"It's too aggressive." Sifrey shook his head, briefly commenting on this former colleague, and then slowly backed away on horseback, letting a fully-armored cavalry step forward.

These armored heavy cavalry are all elites of Sequence 5, and there are also two Sequence 6 Transcendents. When they rode their horses forward, the magic power of resonance swarmed and boiled, and a layer of fierceness began to be attached to their blades. Red.

Demon Sequence 5 Blood Front Cavalry, War Sequence 5 Symphony Knight

The former has the skills and ability to greatly increase the lethality, while the latter can better combine the magic of comrades in arms, making them resonate and cooperate, and they are natural officers.

They are often mixed, staggered attacks, cutting the front like a sawtooth, and they are Severly's carefully cultivated subordinates.

In just a short distance, these cavalry rushed to the extreme and rushed towards the raiding generals in the torrential rain.

The ferocious red blade split into a short arc in the air, slashed down instantly with splashing rain, and was then cut off by the steel-like figure.

In the pouring rain, the arcs of these cavalry slashes were like rushing water to the extreme, scouring down, one by one, without breaking.

Some were directly split by Darcy, and some were blocked by him, leaving traces of debris and traces on the armor, and some constantly found gaps in the attack, cut fine wounds, and splashed in the air. bloodshot.

The battle was still going on. After two complete continuous charges, the 'war god' was breathing heavily and slowly stood on his horse. Under his body lay nearly a hundred cavalry corpses, and he was like a rock. Still haven't fallen.

Taking a deep breath of the air mixed with rain, the general attacked again, and just one person had the momentum of a thousand troops, making the enemy soldiers shiver.

Seeing this scene, Severly snorted coldly and had to frown.

He really didn't want to fight with this former military god, because the army he led had a more important task, and now Her Majesty the Queen is still waiting for his rescue, there is really no time to delay on this.

"Enchanted crossbow ready, shoot!"

The melee combat was not good, so I could only use bows and arrows to block the enemy. Unfortunately, in this storm, the accuracy dropped a lot, and only a few hit Darcy, who was moving at a high speed, and most of these were swept away by him with a long spear.

"You lead the army directly into the city, rescue Your Majesty, the Blood Front cavalry, follow me!" Sifrey had to divide his troops, and then personally led someone to stop the former colleague.

"Yes, my lord."

Immediately, a group of cavalry slammed into the city gate that was burnt by the chariot, and fought with the defenders on the ground. They broke through continuously and difficultly and began to approach the direction of the palace.

Looking back at the soldiers who carried out the order, Sifrey turned around and rode forward, shaped like an eagle, galloping at high speed in the rain, and directly collided with the advancing Darcy.

The two long spears collided in the air, making violent noises and splashes, deafening the eardrums of some soldiers who approached, and it took a long time for them to recover slowly.

"What temptation did you accept, Darcy!" Severly shot hard, swinging away the stabbing attack, and asked loudly.

"In the past, His Majesty defied all opinions, pulled you out, and even arranged marriages for you. Have you forgotten all this?"

The cold and stern question spread in the army formation, causing countless soldiers to perk up their ears.

However, the cold man remained silent without saying a word. There seems to be complete acceptance and complete denial of such questioning.

The generals of the two sides fought back and forth in this torrential rain, and neither could take down the other in a short time, and soon after, a group of soldiers who were trudging fast in the rain gradually approached.

They stepped on the splashing water, carefully unwrapped the oil paper wrapping the muskets in the cold rain, and then quickly lined up to aim at the enemy.

"Fire!"

The hurried orders sounded immediately, and the soldiers who were half-kneeling in the rain shot one after another, and there were continuous gunshots in the rain, and the fire and smoke filled the air.

After being attacked by the soldiers in the same uniform as himself, Sifrey's men also began to fight back. They relied on temporary fortifications, chariots, and woods to continuously shoot to suppress the Western Battalion Corps who were preparing to approach.

"It's over, Severy." A low, indifferent voice sounded on the battlefield.

Darcy was tattered, and there were still many bloodstains on his armor. He stood in the rain-overturned battlefield and looked at the man opposite him who was similar to himself.

"When you don't choose to go to town, it's over."

The voice was so flat and indifferent, it conveyed a message of despair and suffocation.

"The queen will die, the regent and the little prince will also die, and the empire will no longer be the empire of yesterday." He stood quietly, resisting Severa's angry attack.

"You're the damned one, Darcy!"

The ferocious spear tip charged from the side and below, and stabbed out at a tricky angle, forcing Darcy to take half a step back to avoid the edge.

At this moment, Severly fired a shot away, and then drove his horse to the city gate not far away, "Follow me into the city!"

He roared loudly, and many of the guards he left behind followed suit, rushing into the city non-stop.

Watching Sifrey throw away the infantry left outside the city and enter the city to rescue, Darcy said in a low voice, "Now, you have lost the other half."

"All troops, attack!" He waved his arms, and the soldiers beside him charged forward excitedly, knocking down the stunned and panicked soldiers.

The shooting in the rain can only last for a few rounds, followed by direct and brutal hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the large number of Xiying corps, most of the elite Dongying corps who entered the city are obviously unsupported. Then collapse.

In this way, the city gate to the east of Titenya was also captured by the rebels. So far, the entire city's communication with the outside world has been cut off by the rebel forces, and no effective orders can be conveyed inside.

In the storm, everything in Titania began to change, and the drastic changes gradually came to a white-hot stage.
